MATTERS OF URGENCY

The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT ( Senator O'Neill ) (16:40): The Senate will now consider the proposal, under standing order 75, from Senator Lambie, which has been circulated and is shown on the Dynamic Red: That, in the opinion of the Senate, the following is a matter of urgency: The Albanese Government must immediately scrap the proposed $5,000 cap on allied health services for veterans which is contrary to recommendations from the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide and represents a callous disregard for veterans' health and wellbeing.

Is consideration of the proposal supported? More than the number of senators required by the standing orders having risen in their places— The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT: With the concurrence of the Senate, the Clerks will set the clock in line with the informal arrangements made by the whips.
